A Shadowy Figure

A Shadowy Figure

To most I may appear 

just a shadowy figure in the streets

I may appear like this

but I didn't always look like this

At the age of 25

I fell in love with a tall handsome guy

Who loved me as his soon-to-be newlywed wife

Or so it seemed

Two weeks after we exchanged

our vows before the Great Divine

as a good supporting wife

accepted to leave everything behind

and enter into a world vastly different than mine

Oh why does love have to be so blind?!

How could I've not seen what truly was on his mind?!

As I walked in he said

You are in my world now
You have to do as I say
If you do not do as so
You will be beat for the day

How can this be?!

This is not what I had agreed!

I begged him to let me go back

but there was nothing I could do 

to make him change his mind

for I was no longer a beautiful bride

but a face behind a veil I hide

only a shadowy figure in the streets

and even though I may appear like this

at least you know

I didn't always look like this

Holy God Miss Sahara!!........I am praying that this is just a fictional narrative.........but somehow, I think not............this is SO VERY well written that you must have written before.............the timing and rhythm of this is on point............it's heartbeat ~ a lotic pleasure............the fabric of the subject matter is compelling and overwhelmingly sad in it's essence but well conceived and beautifully delivered ~ I want to cry and celebrate your gift as a writer at the same time.............I don't have the words to convey just how good this piece is.............thank you for sharing this with us all......   5*s       FAV          ........well done...........and.........WELCOME to COSMO................Love and Rockets!!............T xo

Chambers of the Unseen

Concealed from the view of others
He keeps
Tucked away between the echo of
two tones...
